Today I’m here with attorney Rhonda Patterson from the Patterson Law Office. Rhonda will talk to us about some of the most common questions she receives as a family law practitioner.
One of the most common questions people have about child custody is what the court considers when deciding which spouse gets custody. People often have a binder full of evidence showing their former spouse’s infidelity, but a lot of that information is not relevant in a custody determination. Just because someone was a bad spouse does not mean they are a bad parent.

Just because someone was a bad spouse does not mean they are a bad parent.
Another thing people often misunderstand is marital property. In North Carolina, any property acquired during marriage is marital property. If you purchase a car or a house in your name, your spouse can still make a claim on it if you divorce. A prenuptial agreement is the best way to avoid trouble down the line.
It’s very easy to get a prenuptial agreement. You simply sit down with an attorney, talk about what you want to protect, and make some concessions for the other side. You don’t want the process to be too contentious, because you are, after all, planning a wedding at the same time.
Finally, if your child is at your spouse’s home, you may want to try to control what happens in the former spouse’s home. For example, you may not want your child around your former spouse’s new girlfriend or boyfriend. However, unless you can prove that this new girlfriend or boyfriend is harming your child or not making decisions in your child’s best interest, there’s nothing you can really do. You do have to let go of a certain level of control when your child is in your former spouse’s house.
Likewise, there may be different rules that your former spouse has for your child in their home. Again, unless these rules are harmful or not in the child’s best interest, there’s nothing you can really do. People parent differently, and what works for you may not work for your former spouse.
If you have any questions, give Rhonda a call at 704-749-3106 or email her at rpaterson@thepattersonlawoffice.com. You can also visit her website.
As always, if you have any questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you.
